Hey I'm Kelly McEvers and this is Embedded from NPR.

In today's episode, we'll be talking about violence and death.

You will also hear recordings from Gaza, which have sounds of bombing and shooting.

In our last episode, I talked to Daniel Estrin,

and PRR's Jerusalem correspondent

and he's the main person covering the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Leila Fadil, who hosts Morning Edition at NPR, has been reporting on the conflict too.

I actually met Leela back in 2010. I had just arrived in Iraq.

She had been reporting on the war there for years. She was later based in Cairo and did incredible coverage of the Arab Spring from there.

So she is someone who has spent many years covering the Middle East.

And after the October 7th attack that was led by Hamas, when the Israeli government says

more than 1,200 people were killed, Lela went to Israel to talk to survivors of the attack.

You should check it out.

You can find it on the NPR website.

And today we're going to talk to Lela about Gaza. We are now five months into

Israel's retaliation for October 7th.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed.

85% of Gaza's population has been forcibly displaced.
